One of the local news channels has this view of the city of Knoxville as their set backdrop and I've been trying for years to figure out where it was taken from. Well, a couple weeks ago I finally figured it out and this week I was lucky enough to catch a nice sunrise as the city was just waking up.

This river is formed at the confluence of the Holston and French Broad Rivers east of Knoxville, hence the name of the KXHR and its tourist train, the Three Rivers Rambler.
This is the Church Street United Methodist Church and the Sunsphere in Knoxville, Tennessee. I took this five-exposure HDR a half mile away from the Sunsphere. The church is three blocks away from the Sunsphere. If you look closely, you can see office chairs and other things in the Sunsphere.

247 Deaderick Ave. in the Historic Mechanicsville Neighborhood in Knoxville TN.
Mechanicsville was established in the late 1860s to house skilled laborers who came to work in the many factories that sprang up along Knoxville's periphery.
Post-Civil War railroad (re)construction lured heavy industry to this area, starting with the Knoxville Iron Company, which built a massive foundry just southeast of Mechanicsville. When the neighborhood acquired its name in the 19th century, the word "mechanic" typically referred to factory workers. Mechanicsville was developed during this period to provide housing for Welsh iron specialists and African-American laborers working at Knoxville Iron and other area factories.
